Rihanna has dropped the second single from her upcoming eighth studio album and it has an interesting name. The track is titled “B-tch Better Have My Money” and fans of the Barbadian beauty were waiting for it for more than 24 hours. Rihanna teased her fans about the song on Instagram one day earlier, when she posted a strange looking picture of hers along with a caption, “rihannaNOW.com #R8 #BBHMM #March26.”

“B-tch Better Have My Money” is co-produced by Rihanna's friend Kanye West, Billboard reports adding that other collaborators on the track are Roc Nation signee Deputy, Travis Scott and Wonda Girl. The music website also believes that the “bass-heavy, confidence-drenched hit” will climb up the charts for sure. Rihanna's earlier song with West was “FourFiveSeconds,” where she even roped in Paul McCartney.

"Don't act like you forgot / b-tch, I call the shots," the 27-year-old songstress says in the song, which many websites are rating quite high. In her previous interview with MTV News, the “Bad Girl” said that she now wants to make songs that are “timeless.” The singer said that whenever she goes on stage, she does not want to perform many of her songs. “They don't feel like me. So I want to make songs that are timeless,” RiRi is quoted as saying to MTV News.

According to New York Daily News, Rihanna's new song “may be designed to correct the mainstream image of her last two tracks” “FourFiveSeconds” and “Towards the Sun.” The website also believes that the current track also highlights RiRi's “darker side.” The song shows West's influence on Rihanna as it is “shadowy, repetitive, half-sung/half-rapped piece of attitude,” added the website.

The song will appear on Rihanna's upcoming eighth studio album album, referred to as “#r8” on her social media accounts. The singer has not announced any date for the album's release yet but various websites are speculating that she might release it in November 2015. Rihanna has released her previous albums in November too. Various critics are also speculating that the singer might drop the album with a surprise, just as she has done with her songs.
